This was such a great comparison! We bought the regular Hatch, but I didn't like some of it's features. I came here to see if the Hatch+ would be worth it. I like that the Hatch+ has a clock, buttons on the back (rather than the bottom), and portable option. Wishing anyone who reads this a good night's rest with their little one😊☁

So helpful! I’m so glad I didn’t stop at one video review (the one before I watched yours) bc it left me feeling just as unsure. Our house loses power randomly a couple times per year and I always spring out of bed to get the portable machine going. So Hatch Rest+ it is!!

Do you have a lot of work enabled devices in your home? It’s possible that it’s either a software compatibility issue or that there’s just too much interference. We had some issues like that and traced it down to the Google home devices we had running. They were gumming up our entire network.

Really depends on your house layout. Generally about 60-90 ft as long as there aren’t too many walls or interference between you and the device. We found that we’d have to go to the bottom of our staircase to reach the Hatch located in my sons room upstairs. With the WiFi version (Hatch Rest Plus) we can adjust or turn it on/off from anywhere in the house.

My hatch plus rest touch ring doesn’t work properly. I’ve just bought 2 of them. One of them works as it should. The other one though with my phone it’s fine every feauture is working but when you touch the ring nothing happens. When you touch the brightness buttin the device resets itself. I couldn’t find anything about this issue. If some sound is already playing when you touch the ring it shuts the noice and that’s it. Touch ring doesn’t turn on or off the device. What is the problem ?

@@Mr_Mackenzie do you know how to delete the device maybe if I can delete it from my account i can reload it again and it works?
@@Mr_Mackenzie it says I should also reset my wifi connection. I’ve tried to add hatch again in my account to reload it again from the beginning I mean but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried to add it other smart phone it didn’t work. It is impossible to delete the device and start from the beginning again. You can’t delete your account you can’t delete your devices when you upload them once. So I will try to connect hatch plus to another wifi at my friend’s house. It must work as resetting the wifi option. I don’t wanna do it at home because I have a working one and I don’t wanna ruin it. I’ve searched a lot but seems like noone had this problem I don’t understand I’m gonna go legit crazy😭

Everything works without WiFi. Think of it like you’re tv. Your tv still has physical buttons to change the channel, but you can’t use the remote if it doesn’t have batteries. No WiFi = no controlling the sound machine with the app, but the buttons and clock etc, still work.

So I took a quick look at it doesn’t look vastly different from the rest plus. It looks like the biggest changes are more software based and more closely align with the Hatch Sleep system (and subscription service that gives you access to sleep meditations, music, and more). But if I get my hands on one I’ll be sure to do a review!

On the regular hatch is it battery or plug in? Or both?
@Mr_Mackenzie3 жыл бұрын
On the regular Hatch Rest you have to leave the sound machine plugged in. The Hatch Rest + has an internal battery so you can unplug it and move it around if you want. The HR+ battery has lasted 6 hours or more for us while being used around 40-50% volume with no light, so in my mind it's very much worth the extra cost.
